Q: We have been invited to an overseas wedding. The invitation included a gift registry card asking guests to contribute cash. Travel and accommodation is already costing us a significant amount of money and I’m a little put off about being asked to give cash. Do I have to give a cash gift? Is my presence enough?
A: Oh my. This is indeed a conundrum. The mesdames believe there is sweetness in choosing something special for a couple, as one must consider both the bride and the groom and make a selection that will delight them both equally in their new lives together. A monetary gift is amity made easy and Madame Mitchell is certain your friends are being considerate in their suggestion, saving you the anguish of excessive choice and fees for excess baggage. Madame Dent however, thinks a little differently. She suspects they’re greedy gits.
